Skin specialists about Dragon’s blood

*Skin Physics Dragon's Blood is a first in terms of combining this active with a powerful combination of anti-ageing ingredients which work in synergy to deliver outstanding and unbelievable visible results.

Though each component plays a beneficial role, it is the combination of elements within dragon's blood that makes it so special. In a Belgian lab test on rats, dimethylcedrusine, pycnogenol, and tapsine all were shown to effectively heal skin lesions. But the crude resin of dragon's blood was shown to speed healing four times faster (or 10-20 times faster than using nothing at all). Unlike its isolated chemicals, dragon's blood was able to stimulate the contraction of wounds, help in the formation of a scab at the wound site, regenerate skin more rapidly, and assist in the formation of new collagen.

Externally, the unique properties of dragon's blood make it an excellent addition to cosmetic applications targeting protection, anti-aging, and general wellness of skin.
